  • V2X vehicle to X
  • V2V vehicle to vehicle
  • V2I vehicle to infrastructure
  • V2P vehicle to pedestrian
  • V2N vehicle to network

  • An amount of data of such services is greater than that of data of conventional V2X services. This requires that the LTE-based V2X direct communications technology can support a higher transmission rate for a transmit end.
  • a transmit end when an amount of service data is relatively large, a plurality of carriers are selected to transmit the service data (to be specific, transmission resources on the plurality of carriers are aggregated to improve a transmission rate of the service data).

  • a transmit end uses a carrier 1 and a carrier 2 to send a specified type of service data.
  • a receive end has only two receive links for respectively listening on the carrier 2 and a carrier 3.

  • the transmit end when the transmit end sends data to a peer end on a plurality of transmission carriers, the transmit end sends indication information to the peer end to indicate that the transmit end sends the data on the plurality of transmission carriers, so that the receive end learns, according to the indication information, that the transmit end sends the data on the plurality of transmission carriers, and adjusts a receive link corresponding to the plurality of transmission carriers to receive the corresponding data, thereby avoiding a packet loss caused because the receive end misses a carrier, and improving data transmission performance.
